ObamaCare deadline not exactly March 31 anymore

by Rob Quinn, Newser Staff

(NEWSER) – With the deadline for enrollment just days away, the Obama administration has decided the cutoff date for ObamaCare isn't as quite as firm as earlier advertised. The administration says people who have had trouble signing up for coverage on HealthCare.gov before the March 31 deadline will have until around the middle of April to ask for an extension, reports the Washington Post, which notes that the system will rely on the honor system and users will only have to tick a box to be granted an extension.
